Thanks for this. I think I see in general where the changes need to be, and I've taken some first steps toward making them, though it will probably be a week or so before I have time to totally dive in.
One additional question: is there a good/light-weight way to test changes to the renderers? This is having me dive into much lower-level parts of Scribble than I've looked at previously (though maybe I was headed there eventually). It seems like it would be ideal to avoid manually checking the rendering of a dummy document, but it isn't immediately obvious to me how to write more rackunit-like test cases. -Philip On Wed, Nov 30, 2016 at 7:56 AM, Matthew Flatt <mfl...@cs.utah.edu> wrote: > Hi Philip, > > There's nothing like rowspan currently. > > If you want to try adding something, I think you'll end up changing the > "scribble-lib" package in several places: in "core.rkt" to adjust the > contract for tables, in "base.rkt" to adjust the contract for > `tabular`, and in "html-render.rkt", "latex-render.rkt", > "markdown-render.rkt", and "text-render.rkt" to adjust the various > renderers.
